Beijing leftovers (1)




Wow, day one of Liu Laoshi seminar in Tokyo was great - rapid progress in the motions of ba gua jian, the very long, double-edged sword favored by ba gua zhang practitioners. Liu L in top form as he works his way among three groups (ba gua jian, new and harder versions of the 12 animals in xing yi quan, and a new form in liuhe tang lang quan (six harmonies praying mantis). I would like to study them all, but choices must be made...time is short, so just a few leftover pictures from Beijing, featuring Liu L teaching bagua jian to Greek friend Euthymios.
